A World of Delight - Underground — The white rabbit had pink eyes, which was not remarkable, but he was carrying a watch, and when he went down a hole in a hedge, Alice just had to follow him. Down, down she fell - into a topsy-turvy dreamworld and one of the most fascinating experiences in literature. — Few classics have a deeply entertained and ... more »influenced readers as ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS - stories which Lewis Carroll first told aloud a century ago to three small friends on an English summer lawn. Both are about a real and sensible schoolgirl - in a land as unreal and non-sensible as it is exciting and delightful. How can Alice cope with a Mock Turtle who weeps, a disappearing Cheshire Cat, Humpty Dumpty the unhappy egg - and, most dangerous of all, the wicked Queen of Hearts?

Here is a world of odd but vital characters, about which more and more can be discovered with each re-reading. But the stories will always remain as Lewis Carroll initially intended them - imaginative entertainments for children he loved.
